"Sorry Amira, Mbak Wita."
Amira Widani, the twenty-three-year-old wife of Andika Sudarma, squeaked softly with a voice that seemed to be stuck in the throat. The woman trembled with a face that looked pale. No makeup polish at all. There was not the slightest bright aura visible in Deswita's eyes.
Whether since when Amira stood in the doorway, watching the drama of Andika's coercion on Wita to continue to accept her love. The heart of the young pregnant woman felt pain instantly. Honestly, actually Amira has no right to be hurt, because he is the source of injury for everyone.
"Amira, why are you following me? You were on purpose, weren't you?" andika asked then, without any intention of releasing Wita to get away from her. The man seemed to be deliberately clasping Wita's hand tightly, so that Amira knew how the man felt.
"I, I'm afraid to be home alone" replied Amira, looking down, not daring to look at Andika in the least.
"Fear at home, but wander beyond midnight," Andika chimed in a sarcastic tone.
"You're out in the middle of the night to meet a woman who's not your wife. You realize that, Mom? I'm pregnant and you always blame me" Amira tries to be brave.
Andika took four steps forward, approaching Amira with a sharp look in her eyes and said, "because from the beginning of this marriage it was wrong, Amira. You know, and I've been very clear saying, that I'm married. But you lied to me!" exciting Andika.
"Looking how, Mas? I never lied to you" replied Amira trembling, crying.
"You said you used contraception, but you didn't, did you? You liar," replied Andika.
"But you enjoy it" said Amira, with a raised tone.
"And I just play with you. Unfortunately, I was trapped by a cheap woman like you. I was wrong to have betrayed Deswita, but I never had the intention to separate from her. Remember one thing for now, Amira, my love, only for Deswita, not you," Andika asserted, making Amira's heart feel excruciating pain.
Is this what it feels like to be a second wife? Amira thinks she can be the queen in Andika's super big house. But unfortunately, he is nothing more than a patient who is full of pain. Not considered and married just a mere formality.
"You better go home and finish your business at your house. It's already midnight. Kelan must also be disturbed sleep if you argue here," Deswita pushed on the couple in front of him.
Andika herself stared intently at Amira, making Amira turn around and leave without saying goodbye to the owner of the house. Deswita looked at the back of the woman who was six months pregnant.
"You have no sense of responsibility, Mom. Anyway, Amira is your wife, she is pregnant with your child" Wita said, after Amira had really left her house.
"But I don't love him, Wita. You should know this," argued Andika who did not want to be blamed, "anyways can you say I am not responsible? I married her, I fulfilled her need."
"This is not about material responsibility alone, but also your affection and your attention, surely Amira needs it" said Wita, staring intently at her ex-husband.
The woman did not end up thinking with Andika's cold attitude towards Amira. Undeniably, Wita is very disappointed in Andika, and a little much hate on Amira who has taken her husband from her and Kelan. But despite all that, Amira is also a woman, just like Wita. Wita did not until the heart saw Amira treated so by Andika.
"Don't defend him, Wita. One day you will understand, how I feel to you," Andika said softly, turning away.

Inside the guest room occupied by Amira, Amira sat pensively alone. There were many things that these few days were a burden on the young lady's mind.
An accidental meeting with Andika Sudarma, a wealthy man who became his target, made Amira feel like a durian collapse. There is a case that Amira covers, so that she has no choice but to surrender to Andika, and pawn the future for her personal security.
Honestly, Amira began to be depressed after Andika separated from her residence with Deswita, his ex-wife. Early on she became Andika's second wife, all still in control and fine.
The peak when the week before Andika officially divorced, exactly nine days ago. Andika was angry with Amira, and swore at her young wife with harsh words.
Amira had to endure, for the good of herself and her child, even though she could be said to be selfish, because she had to sacrifice Deswita and Kelan here.
Andika's?
He was also Amira's real victim.
"Don't repeat your folly by coming to Deswita's house again, Amira. I didn't hesitate to divorce you, and took over the child's upbringing before I actually dumped you. If you recede, you will survive. But if you repeat the same mistake, you know who I am. I don't like to play the same word twice!" Andika exclaimed with a distinctive and deep voice.
"Mas, don't you feel sorry for me?" amira asked, trying to achieve her husband's pity.
"You think that if I don't feel sorry for you, I will shift Wita with you in this house. Remember, your position is only a temporary guest in this house. The rest, the owners of this house are Deswita and Kelan," Andika quickly added.
"But I'm also pregnant with your child, Mas. You can't discriminate Kelan and this child" Amira quickly denied.
"You dare to argue with me? Don't act. Little by little, the veil of lies and what you hide from me, will be revealed slowly. Just wait until all the things you hide from me, are revealed," Andika said with a sharp look at Amira.
Amira's heart felt in a moment. The woman was scared to death. Unknowingly, his face was as white as paper. Pale and hinting at real fear.
"Mas, ap, what did you .. say?" asked Amira nervously.
"You think you can fool me? Listen to this carefully. You chose the wrong man to fool. Catch that. It is not wrong that in the end, I put you in the guest room. The main room is too sacred for a snake woman like you!" andikaa exclaimed before passing away, leaving Amira frozen in place.
Amira is frightened, afraid that her lies will be revealed quickly.
